    5D MKIII, done it, anybody else??

    Well I just pulled the trigger and pre-ordered the 5D MK3. Arrival here in Brisbane is estimated for the March 22. That is if I make the first shipment, follow-up shipments are set for once a week after that, or so I'm told. There are over 10 pre-orders at the shop I have ordered through.

    I have decided to sell the 7D and the Tokina 11-16 to help fund the purchase.

    Anyone else pre-ordered yet?

    JEALOUS! If I sold the 7D and 17-55mm I'd STILL be scratching my head, wondering what else I could sell to fund the rest. (Not to mention a replacement FF lens) Congrats!

    Oooooh nice. I'm saving for a round the world trip so I will have to see how nice the tax man is to me this year then go from there.

    Congrats, Steve!!! Seriously cannot wait to see some of your photos taken with it!!!

    Wouldn't it have been better to sell your 5d II for the 5d III and keep the 7d?

    I pre-ordered at B&H though so I am probably 8,796 out of 19,564 :-(

    When it arrives, at least one of my two 5DIIs will up for sale. Based on this thread it looks like I'll be asking $1,500.

    I really don't know Denise.
    If I was more into wildlife, yes I think you would be right. But since I picked up the 5D2 on ebay, FF just worked better for me with landscape and the portrait style of shooting that I like.
